	Basketball Hook Shot, Coach's Clipboard Playbook
		This shot is used mainly by post players close to the basket, near the blocks or in the paint.
		The original "classic" hook shot is started by pivoting sideways on the non-shooting foot (the left foot with a right-handed shot) with the foot remaining on the floor.
		Instead of extending the shooting arm outward and away from the hoop (as in the classic hook shot), the shooting arm extends vertically and high with the ball above the shoulder.

	Hook shot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hook shot, in basketball, is a play in which the offensive player, usually turned perpendicular to the basket, gently shoots the ball with a sweeping motion of his arm in an upward arc with a follow-through which ends over his head.
		Unlike the jump shot, it is shot with only one hand; the other arm is often used to create space between the shooter and the defensive player.
		Once the ball is in shooting position, the hook shot is one of the most difficult shots to effectively defend.

	The Split Shot Technique: The Advantage
		When Gary went looking for the perfect split shot hook he took a page from ancient Hawaiian history and found that by applying what worked on the coral reefs for centuries, he was able to develop a hook that did wonders in the modern world.
		With its in-turned point, a quick inspection reveals that the hook is designed not to bite or set on a flat surface but rather to slide until it encounters an edge - an edge such as a bass's lip or the hinged area of the jaw.
		And, as is the case in all split shot styles, the lack of any weight at the hook robs the fish of any leverage that they might use to assist them in throwing the hook.

	Basketball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A successful shot is worth two points, or three points if it is taken from beyond the three-point arc which is 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 in) from the basket in international games and 23 ft 9 in (7.24 m) in NBA games.
		The ball is shot by bending and extending the knees and extending the shooting arm to become straight; the ball rolls off the finger tips while the wrist completes a full downward flex motion.
		The most crowd-pleasing, and typically highest-percentage accuracy shot is the slam dunk, in which the player jumps very high, and throws the ball downward, directly through the hoop.

		When you are teaching the hook shot the techniques you use are exactly similar to the jump shot with the exception of how the body is oriented and the release point which I will get to in a moment.
		What is different is that the hook shot, especially when shooting the jump hook must be started with a slightly higher release point both to protect the ball from being picked by probing defensive hands, and to help make the motion fluid and avoid a push of the ball.
		The jump hook is a two footed shot (unlike the older swinging hook or sky hook) taken by the hand farthest from the defender and the basket.

		They suggest that the soldier who shot Hook knew he was targeting an unarmed civilian, and that he may have been seeking revenge for the deaths of Israeli soldiers during an invasion of Jenin camp several months earlier.
		Hook, holed up with another British UN worker, Paul Wolstenholme, and 30 Palestinian staff, as well as two young camp children given sanctuary from the Israeli armour that rolled into the camp at 8am, had spent the morning desperately trying to persuade the army to call a temporary ceasefire with the Palestinian gunmen.
		As it became clear that the Israeli army was not willing to cooperate with Hook, the parents of the children and the Palestinian families of the local UN staff gathered in the narrow alleyway along the compound's southern wall, entirely shielded from the view of the army.

	Drop Shotting -- How, where, when and why to fish the hottest finesse tactic going...
		Eliminating the leader between the hook and the main line, along with the development of the self-cinching weight (eg, Bakudan) were major improvements and opened the door for specialized drop shot baits and the concept of using it to fish unweighted lures at depth.
		Further, with the drop shot rig, the part of the line that is subject to abrasion from bottom debris is not between you and the lure -- or between you and the fish, once you've hooked one.
		When rigging a worm on an offset hook with the drop shot rig, it's important to rig it so that the knot is completely exposed, rather than buried in the plastic.

		The hooks are tied on directly or on a small loop to keep them from tangling on the way down to the bottom which may be 20-90 feet.
		As far as the drop shot, the hook is exposed, it's tied directly on the line (no leader at all) that the sinker is on.
